get the query of user from paper-search-bar

[rafaelleru]

I'm using paper search bar but I can't obtain the query that user wants to search by:

paper-searc-element.query

and in API I dont understand how to get this.

@rafaelleru - Not sure if I fully understand your question... But have a look to the demo: https://github.com/Collaborne/paper-search/blob/master/demo/paper-search-panel.html#L22

Yes I look the demo and in my code works fine, but when I try to change

   scope.search = function() {
    alert("searching...");
    };

for:

scope.search = function() {
    alert(scope.query);;
};

I get empty alert, and I can't find a way to get the user input from scope

I extended the demo to show how to access the query property: https://github.com/Collaborne/paper-search/commit/c422be4b16d9ebd1232d14b03c11ea53880c3fe0

In case you use <paper-search-panel> (instead of just <paper-search-bar>): Please be aware that the property is called search (not query) -> https://github.com/Collaborne/paper-search/blob/master/demo/paper-search-panel.html#L22
